Clinton Trolls Shut Down Pro-Bernie Sanders Facebook GroupsAmanda Girard | April 26, 2016

Some of the biggest pro-Bernie Sanders groups on Facebook were briefly taken down Monday evening in a targeted attack by Hillary Clinton supporters.

The groups Bernie Sanders Activists, Bernie Believers, BERNIE OR BUST, Bernie Sanders Revolutionaries, Bay Area for Bernie, Bernie Sanders 2016 — Ideas Welcome, Bernie Sanders is my HERO, and Bernie Sanders for President 2016 were all taken down in the attack. The pages in question were reported to be down for about three hours, from 9 p.m. to midnight Monday night.

Collectively, these groups are home to more than a quarter million Bernie Sanders supporters, and some have been in existence for nearly a year, having been launched shortly after the Vermont senator declared his intent to run for president in 2015.

The groups were targeted by online trolls, who posted pornographic images and reported the groups to Facebook admins. Some legitimate Bernie supporters even reported seeing images containing pedophilia, according to reporting from Heavy.com.

Erica Libenow, a Sanders supporter and member of one of the pro-Bernie groups, said, “We had what looked like a kiddie porn posted in one of our groups today. I reported that one. Seriously made me want to vomit.”

There is at least one culprit to be found in Facebook user Casey Champagne, who bragged about taking down the pages in the pro-Hillary Clinton group BROS 4 HILLARY – #GiveEmHill — though the pro-Clinton page has now also been taken down.

Other Hillary Clinton fans were cheering on Champagne’s trolling, encouraging him to try to take down Bernie Sanders’ official Facebook page. Another Facebook user openly admitted that her husband frequently reported pro-Sanders posts on Facebook in hopes that they would be taken down, saying his success rate was “about 50/50 on a good day.”

Facebook user Robert Olivarez told Champagne, “You know they all can see this post?” Champagne cavalierly responded, “You know I don’t care?”

Champagne, and possibly other Clinton supporters, essentially mass-reported content in these pro-Sanders Facebook groups claiming the content was graphically violent, pornographic, or abusive — including the reprehensible content posted by Clinton supporters themselves. Facebook’s automated systems take note of how many individuals report a particular post, and if the post is reported enough, it will be taken down. This same process applies to groups, pages, and individual user accounts.

Casey Champagne did not immediately respond to interview requests from US Uncut.

It’s still unclear if these gutter tactics are tied to Correct the Record, the pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC that openly declared last week that it would launch a sophisticated social media campaign aimed at Bernie Sanders supporters. Correct the Record earmarked $1 million for the effort, named “Barrier Breakers 2016,” which aims to “correct” Sanders supporters who criticize Hillary Clinton on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram. However, some of Casey Champagne’s recent likes are Correct the Record, Barrier Breakers, and an anti-Sanders page called “Pragmatic Progressives.”

Totally disgusting. Dirty politics at it's worst. Would be surprised if this is Big Money at work again. In fact, would be surprised if it isn't.

How on earth is it she get so much support?

And "Casey Champagne"? What a lame moniker.

Has anyone ever told you mrussell that you are an absolute de-light?

If you're going to attack, I'm going to attack back. If you want to extol your candidate, then I won't say a word. But if you choose to tear down my candidate, I'll say something.

Primaries ended tonight on both sides.

They certainly are. And the fact is Bernies bid is over and has been since AZ.

You are correct sir. Unfortunately it means that many, many people who never voted Republican in a Presidential election before, will be doing just that in November, myself included. It almost hurts to say it but the democratic candidate has a MUCH more cozier relationship with VAMPIRE SQUID WALL STREET!
YO YO YO the establishments got to GO!

Yeah, the ultimate 1%er, who is anti-choice, anti-min wage increase, anti-Obama care, etc. If he better represents your positions, then you should vote for him, by all means.

The disconnect some people have is unreal.

I do believe most Bernie supporters will vote Hillary.

I would have voted for Bernie, but sure as hell would vote Hillary over Trump....or anyone in the republican field for that matter. I can't see how you could have been listening to anything that Bernie has said or stands for and turn around and vote for Trump. That is delusional....and you were never a Bernie supporter in the first place.

This is absolutely correct. I share the same sentiment.

At least with Trump we'll get to shake up the system, assuming he isn't a democrat in disguise.

4 years of Trump in exchange we get to shake up the entire system and hopefully get some real candidates down the line would be well worth it.

In 4 years you would have the electorate clamoring to get back to a status quo candidate. The world would just be stuck with Trump for 4 years, nothing gained. Thanks, but no thanks.

Hillary is just more of the same. Unless you are one of the 1% rich, you are going to lose out with more of the same. Wanna see your life and your kid's life continue to degrade economically and (especially) environmentally? Vote for Hillary! (And as the saying goes, "Good luck with that!)

It amazes me how fearful so many democrats have become of true change, especially when that change will make their lives better (unless, of course, you are one of the 1% wealthy).

Because she's the best choice to keep this country moving in path that started 8 years ago. Economy will be fine. Another liberal SC justce nominated. She's smart and I feel will do her best.

Yes she has to run shrewd campaign. Wait till it's just her and Trump.

Nothing gained, but likely a ton lost, starting with SCOTUS seats.

Exactly. Sorry but I'm no masochist, I don't want to see what a Trump presidency will look like....just to shake things up.

There is no choice.
Vote for Clinton or vote for the global warming deniers, the anti-minwagers, the Christian crusaders, etc...

That's our sad reality.

I honestly believe if it comes down to Hillary or Trump it won't matter any more. If it comes down to those two, I will vote for Jill Stein. Hillary is just a part of the machine that is destroying our planet. I won't be fooled again.

I know the environment is a huge issue for you Brian. It's a huge issue for me too. So whose presidency is going to be worse for the environment. Trump or Clintons? There is a very real difference. At some point you are going to have to make that choice.

Bernie will not win, Stein will not win.
